Maybe they were under pressure to produce as many as possible to meet demand for 1As and there was a box of 2N270s lying around? Another scenario could be that they ran out of enclosures from the first run. I've heard of lots of anomalies with anachronistic features on Gibson gtrs, so it's not such a surprise.
Interesting that 5906 has the 2-battery holder also - are the resistor values adjusted at all to match the increased voltage?
I think mine is regular FZ-1A with two batteries bottom (only one battery is connected another not).
